Charles,
This is not a difficult thing to do into place. Presuming that your
buff HP9000 is going to be your central server, you can then run all of
your virus-scan software, spam checking, and mail log analysis on this
machine.
Then you only allow SMTP connections on your 2 leaf nodes from 'buff'
(and your client networks) and all mail for mycompany.com can be MX'd to
'buff'. Buff then uses forward (or a pile of .qmail files) to send the
messages to the appropriate leaf node, or deliver it to cyrus (IMAP) or
imapd.
As far as the qmail-ldap integration, I'm afraid others will have to
answer that question....
Good luck!
